Yes, in many cases Eaton and Westinghouse breakers are interchangeable because Eaton acquired the historic Westinghouse electrical distribution business. Specifically, the Eaton Type BR circuit breaker line was engineered to fit directly into legacy Westinghouse and Bryant load centers, sharing identical physical dimensions and bus bar clips. However, always verify compatibility against the specific panel door label to ensure code compliance and safe operation.
